SMU is planning an alumini event in August in memory of men's soccer player Jordan Mann, who died unexpectedly in his sleep May 26. SMU's coaching staff and team members attended Mann's funeral in Prairie Village, Kan. last week.

Mann was the third SMU student to die in May and the fourth in the last year.

Mann graduated in May with a degree in finance and returned to his parents' home where he died in his sleep. An autopsy is being conducted to determine the cause of death. Medical examiners believe Mann might have had a heart defect.

Mann played on the Mustangs' 2005 Final Four qualifier and was named to the Conference USA all-academic team.

WHAT IS GOING ON AT SMU?

This makes 6 students (I think I heard that on the radio) in 5 months.
